I’m excited to be teaming up with Eden Fantasys and offering commentary on their site a few times a month. Don’t be alarmed! I won’t be reviewing sex toys–unless something really really catches my fancy! But I will be letting you know about all the cool things offered on the Eden Fantasys website. There are forums where you can read about products, sex and politics, sexual health, and a ton of other things! There’s Sexis magazine that explores–what else!–sex! I’m excited about the photography group!

While exploring the Eden Fantasys forums, I found a thread about Playboy. What do you think about posing for the magazine? There’s even a poll, if you’d like to weigh in, here’s the link. The choices are: “For it/ and would did it if I had the chance, For it/ would not do it though, Not for it but wont hate you if you pose for them, If you pose for them you are helping to [destroy] our morals.”

I don’t really have strong opinions about Playboy. To me it seems pretty harmless. Women pose semi-naked, get paid, and men look. I don’t think the women are coerced into posing. And I pretty much think “Playboy” and “baby doll nightie and pearls” for some reason.

It’s been a lot of years since I’ve even seen the cover of a Playboy magazine or any other porn. I do get curious when a celebrity gets nekkid. Yes, I wanted to see Lindsay Lohan. Not enough to actually pay for the magazine. But if I ran across it on someone’s coffee table, I would have looked.

But my first thoughts these days when I hear about the magazine is the mental picture of Hugh Hefner sitting on a sectional sofa, wearing a satin smoking jacket and ascot, surrounding by buxom blondes. That pretty much kills any association of Playboy and sex for me. I’m not into wrinkled old men in ascots nor buxom blondes.

Actually, I don’t even know if Hefner wears an ascot, but it’s burned into my mind so it must be true. Right?

I definitely don’t agree with the fourth choice. Posing naked in Playboy magazine is not helping destroy morals. It takes a lot more than a semi-nude picture in a magazine to do that.

If I had to pick something in our society that is destroying morals, I would pick politics–from all sides. But that’s best saved for another day…

What do you think? Would you pose if asked? Or do you think Playboy is supporting moral decay in 0ur society?

PS. I ordered from Eden Fantasys for Valentine’s Day and my order was delivered promptly. In fact, I couldn’t believe how quickly it went from the click of the enter key on my end, to getting an order confirmation, to getting the delivery! Go ahead, try it for yourself!
